Developing high quality products fast and economically is an essential challenge in today’s globalized world economy. In order to maintain their competitiveness, companies have to continuously improve their core process – the development of their products. Bihler Software bNX offers leading technical functions facilitating complex tasks required in various areas for development, analysis, manufacture, marketing and maintenance. Development of successful products cannot be left to chance. In the past it was very hard giving concrete information on the products’ performance, quality and appearance during the development process. Almost always expensive protoypes had to be manufactured. Thanks to the Technology Software bNX, processes can be analyzed, configured, designed and simulated when developing and designing punching and forming tools. Due to the virtual product development, which allows for verification in the run-up phase, development risks as well as development times can be reduced considerably.

GibbsCAM Data Exchange
GibbsCAM supports a wide variety of data exchange formats enabling data to be read from just about any source. Basic GibbsCAM packages provide support for DXG, DWG and IGES formats. GibbsCAM solids-based packages support the Parasolid format and can directly read native model files from Solid Edge and SolidWorks. Numerous other data formats are supported through other optional data exchange options. With GibbsCAM you will never have to turn-away a job because you can't read in the CAD data.
DXF/DWG
Primarily used as an exchange format by drafting systems, such as AutoCAD, DXF/DWG is often used with 2-/2.5-axis production parts. Depending on the supported level of geometry, GibbsCAM can directly read in wireframe, surface and solid geometry contained in DXF/DWG files. Geometry can also be exported from GibbsCAM in DXF and DWG formats.
IGES and VDA-FS
A popular, well-known exchange format, IGES is often used by CAD systems to transfer surface geometry. GibbsCAM can directly read or write IGES format files containing wireframe and surface geometry. With a solids-based module, GibbsCAM can also read IGES solids. GibbsCAM can optionally read the German Automotive Association's VDA-FS data format for trimmed surfaces.
STEP AP203/AP214
As a next generation product data exchange format, STEP files are usually used to transfer solid model data. When support for the native solid model format is not available, STEP provides an excellent way to transfer solid model data to and from GibbsCAM. With the Solid Exchange Built on Granite option, solids-based GibbsCAM modules can read and write files in STEP AP203 and AP214 format.
Autodesk Inventor
Solids-based GibbsCAM modules can optionally read native Autodesk Inventor model files. An add-in for Inventor is offered, which allows Inventor models to be transferred directly to GibbsCAM from within the Inventor session, dramatically streamlining the transfer process. A similar add-in also is available for the Mechanical Desktop. GibbsCAM is certified under the Autodesk Inventor Certified Application Program.
Solid Edge
Solids-based GibbsCAM modules can directly read native Solid Edge model files. An add-in for Solid Edge is offered, which allows Solid Edge models to be transferred directly to GibbsCAM from within the Solid Edge session, dramatically streamlining the transfer process. GibbsCAM is a Solid Edge Voyager Certified Select Product.
SolidWorks
Solids-based GibbsCAM modules can directly read native SolidWorks model files, including assemblies and configurations. An add-in for SolidWorks is offered, which allows SolidWorks models to be transferred directly to GibbsCAM from within the SolidWorks session, dramatically streamlining the transfer process. GibbsCAM is a SolidWorks Certified CAM Product.
CATIA V4/V5
GibbsCAM optionally has the ability to read in native CATIA V4 or CATIA V5 model files. Depending on the GibbsCAM modules in use, part data can be read in as wireframe, surface or solid geometry.
Pro/ENGINEER
GibbsCAM optionally has the ability to directly read in assemblies and solids contained in Pro/ENGINEER files. Depending on the GibbsCAM modules in use, part data can be read in as wireframe, surface or solid geometry. GibbsCAM's Pro/ENGINEER data exchange option is built using PTC's Granite technology ensuring the highest level of accessibility and interoperability. |

GibbsCAM SolidSurfacer
GibbsCAM SolidSurfacer provides higher-level surface and solid modeling capabilities. Advanced functionality to machine surfaces and solids is also included. GibbsCAM's intuitive graphical user interface allows complex surface and solid functions to be easy to use. Using SolidSurfacer, you can address the demanding surface and solid modeling and machining requirements for complex mold, tool and die work.
3-Axis Multi-Surface Machining
Today's parts include a variety of forms and surfaces. Applying toolpath across multiple surfaces or over an entire solid is a key machining capability in addition to pocketing and profiling. SolidSurfacer allows you to easily create gouge-free, 3-axis toolpath using a variety of machining styles, such as lace cut and zig-zag. You have complete control over cut parameters like direction, orientation, step-over amount, and depth. With SolidSurfacer, machining multiple surfaces is quick and easy.
Extended Surface Modeling Capabilities
Though more and more parts files are being provided in solid model format, surfaces still play a key part in their definition and surface modeling for manufacturing is still a very important capability. SolidSurfacer provides extended surface modeling capabilities to handle surface creation or modification. And GibbsCAM's signature ease-of-use ensures that its powerful surface modeling functionality is easy to use.
Variable Radius Blending
Blending between surfaces allows a smooth transition to occur between them. SolidSurfacer not only supports conventional constant radius blending, but also more advanced variable radius blending. Whether you're applying a constant or variable radius, SolidSurfacer provides the blending capability that's not only powerful, but easy to use.
Draft
Often parts have vertical walls that make them difficult to remove from molds without sliders. With SolidSurfacer, you can apply an amount of draft slightly angling vertical walls. You won't get stuck with SolidSurfacer's breadth of capabilities.
Automatic Parting Line Generation
Mold halves need to be separated at the extents of the part to ensure that the part can be readily removed. Manually determining where the parting line should be can be a very tedious process. With SolidSurfacer, you can automatically generate the correct parting line and then use it to easily divide the mold halves.
Extract/Heal Features (for core/cavity or electrodes)
Often parts include minor features that get in the way when generating toolpath. These features can be suppressed using SolidSurfacer's extract/heal feature capability, which removes the feature's geometry and heals the surrounding area. The solid, which is generated from the suppressed feature, can also be used to create cores or electrodes.
Multiple Offsets
There are different types of surfaces to consider when machining-the surface that is actually being machined, the part surfaces not being machined, and any surfaces associated with fixtures. SolidSurfacer allows you to specify the offset, or how closely the tool comes, for each of these surfaces types. Just another example how with SolidSurfacer, you're in complete control when generating toolpath.
3D Projection Machining
Sometimes you want to have direct control of the toolpath over multiple surfaces. You generate the toolpath you want and then you project it onto the surfaces to be machined. The source for the toolpath geometry can be just about anything, including text. SolidSurfacer provides a powerful capability that allows you to project geometry onto surfaces generating final toolpath geometry. |
